Protected Planet Report 2024
Protected and conserved areas are vital places for both nature and people. They play a critical role in halting and reversing biodiversity loss. They also provide important cultural, spiritual and economic benefits, supplying ecosystem services that help to safeguard the planet for the future of humanity. In December 2022, Parties to the Convention on Biodiversity agreed to conserve 30% of Earth’s land and seas by 2030.

Repurposing Power Markets: The Path to Sustainable and Affordable Energy for All
The electricity industry is undergoing a transformative evolution driven by three overarching trends: decentralization, digitalization, and decarbonization (3Ds). To ensure access to clean, affordable, and reliable energy for all by 2030 - UN sustainable development goal 7 (SDG7) - countries need to repurpose their power market designs to adapt to this transformation and unlock new opportunities. This report provides a fresh global perspective on how to leverage existing designs to effectively mobilize private capital at scale, complementing public investment to achieve SDG7.

Circularity measures on critical raw materials and e-drive motors in vehicle
The transition to e-mobility has accelerated the demand for and has heightened the EU’s dependency on critical raw materials such as rare earths, copper, lithium, cobalt, and nickel, increasing the urgency for higher circularity in end-of-life vehicles. Starting from a previous report, this report expands on measures outlined in the new End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation proposal 2023/0284/EC and supports its implementation by assessing novel circularity measures for vehicles and their components and parts, aligning also with the Critical Raw Materials Act and the EU’s strategic goals.

The (Un)Intended Consequences of Oil Sanctions Through the Dark Shipping of Sanctioned Oil
We examine the rise of dark shipping—oil tankers disabling AIS transceivers to evade detection—amid Western sanctions on Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, and Russia. Using a machine learning-based ship clustering model, we track dark-shipped crude oil trade flows worldwide and detect unauthorized ship-to-ship transfers.

Hydrogen in China: Why China’s success in solar PV might not translate to electrolyzers
China’s manufacturing capabilities and advancements in reducing electrolyzer costs have sparked both hopes and concerns about its potential to dominate global electrolyzer production and exports. This is often compared to China’s success in solar photovoltaics (PV), where dramatic cost reductions and subsequent control over supply chains have established its leadership in the sector. This paper explores whether China can replicate its success in solar with electrolyzers, considering government support, learning rates of PV and electrolyzers, Chinese corporate strategies, and the external environment for exports.
